I joined the seemlingly 60M other people in signing up for mint.com yesterday. Its slower than old people sex right now, but having been down that bumpy road I’m not going to complain too much.

At first I was like “Ohhhh pretty buttons” and I liked it a lot. Now that I’ve given it the 0.001% test, I’m not as impressed. Basically I’ve played with all the features and I’m left with that, “that’s it?” feeling. I’m not entirely sure what more I would want it to do, but I don’t feel that impressed. It also pointed out how much I’ve spent at Amazon, which scares the crap out of me. One thing I am phenomenally impressed by is how they just downloaded all the data from Amex and Wells Fargo without using the Direct Connect nonsense. If these guys can do it, why do I still have to struggle to get Quicken and QuickBooks to connect to my bank? Its absurd.

I’ll keep playing with it, and see how I feel in a few months.
